Chapter 55 - Happy Surprise (2)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

One hundred chairs were sitting in the parlor of the tavern.

A handsome man was sitting in the middle of the chairs.

Everyone’s eyes were glued on this man who was indescribably beautiful and striking, ‘Is this young man really Master Lingtian? Isn’t Master Lingtian in his forties? Why does he look like he is twenty years old?’

A lot of the girls were blushed seeing how handsome Master Lingtian was.

Seeing how refreshed Master Lingtian was today, Luo Qianqian was pretty confident that Tong’er was all better now.

“Sister-in-law, look, how attractive Master Lingtian is!” Murong Xue stared at Master Lingtian and said that sincerely.

Luo Qianqian teased her, “Xue, you know you are drooling?”

Murong Xue was an innocent little girl who always let her guard down, hearing that, she wiped her lips in a haste only to find her sister-in-law was pulling her leg. She flushed tomato red, “Sister-in-law, why did you do that?”

“I’m kidding you, kiddo. Xue, seriously though, don’t take a fancy to Master Lingtian, Master Lingtian has found the love of his life already, do you understand?”

Murong Xue was more blushed, she played with the handkerchief in hand and said in a low voice, “Aiya, sister-in-law~ I know, plus I’ve already have someone in my mind.”

Luo Qianqian was intrigued, “Who is the lucky guy?”

Murong Xue buried her head deeper, she muttered, “it’s… it’s Doctor Lin.”

Luo Qianqian didn’t see that coming, but she was secretly for Murong Xue.

Luo Yuyan and Luo Keer now were sitting at the back row, no one knew whether Shu Jian arranged the seats like that on purpose or not ????

Master Lingtian swept across the parlor, unlike the indifferent way Murong Yun gazed at people, everyone felt so comfortable under Master Lingtian’s gaze as if a spring breeze was stroking the face.

Luo Qianqian caught his attention right away, he wasn’t looking for Luo Qianqian, but Luo Qianqian just stood out from the crowd naturally, it was so hard to not notice her at first sight.

And Master Lingtian could vaguely recognize the girl who was sitting next to Luo Qianqian, he was invited to the Imperial Palace years ago, it was Princess Eleventh.

Shu Jian got the hint, he walked towards Master Lingtian and said, “at your service.”

Master Lingtian’a gaze landed on Luo Qianqian, he was curious why this girl didn’t bring anything up the day before when she saved his wife’ life, he asked, “Are you here to take the test?”

Shu Jian promptly said, “Master, this is Luo Qianqian… …”

Master Lingtian flickered his sleeve, a piece of Hetian Jade appeared on Luo Qianqian and Murong Xue’s table respectively, “They could do without the test.”

Master Lingtian didn’t lower his voice when he said that, so everyone in the parlor could hear him.

Luo Keer was overjoyed, she thought Master Lingtian was disqualifying Luo Qianqian, “Luo Qianqian, look how the master loathes you, he doesn’t even want to give you an opportunity. I’m just feeling sorry for Princess Eleventh, she is only getting this treatment because of you.”

But Luo Yuyan kept staring at the Hetian Jade, she had a hunch it was not like what Luo Keer just said.

Luo Qianqian wasn’t sure, ‘Am I disqualified? So is Xue? Because of me? And Master Lingtian is giving us the jade like a comfort?’

It wasn’t until Luo Keer pointed it out the other girl was Princess Eleventh did the other applicants knew they were in the presence of Princess Eleventh.

Master Lingtian frowned on hearing Luo Keer’s bitter comments.

Shu Jian found that comment both funny and annoying, who said they were disqualified?

The jade?

The jade was a token for becoming Master Lingtian’s disciple!

Shu Jian had been serving Master Lingtian since he was a kid, sometimes Master Lingtian would teach him a few moves, but he didn’t have a token.

Master Lingtian didn’t say in public how many disciples he was going to take this time, but he had planned to taking two in total, that was why he searched for two pieces if fine Hetian Jade, and he made the carvings on the jade by himself.

“Luo Qianqian, why are you still sitting there? Haven’t you got enough humiliation?” snorted Luo Keer, she looked at Luo Qianqian as proud as a peacock, she had little idea that the joke was on herself.

Murong Xue was not sure what this meant, but she won’t just sit and watch Luo Keer making fun of her sister-in-law, “As a daughter of a concubine, how dare you to behave atrociously in front of me? Do you know who you are talking to? You should address her as Her Highness! Show the slightest disrespect to her again, I’ll make sure you pay for it, in a hard way.”

Luo Qianqian’e eyes turned red.

Xue didn’t blame her for what just happened, she was defending her in front of the people who were making fun of her, she was so touched.

“Xue, just let her go.”

Murong Xue never understood how tolerance worked, she was taught to defend the people she loved since she was born, so she spoke loudly, “Sister-in-law, you are too kind, but do you know sometimes kindness borders on encouraging bullying.”

Luo Keer lowered her head, her face turned pale and red alternately as Murong Xue went on, oof course she wouldn’t dare to talk back, all she could do was cursing Luo Qianqian in the heart.

Luo Qianqian rose, she bowed to Master Lingtian and said, “Master, please keep Xue, this is all my fault, Xue has nothing to do with this.”

She thought the only explanation was the elixir didn’t work miracle on Tong’er.

But anyway she was determined to get Murong Xue out of this.

Shu Jian couldn’t hold it any longer, he chimed in, “Miss Luo and Your Highness Princess Eleventh, this is a big misunderstanding, Master Lingtian isn’t disqualifying you!”

“But Master Lingtian said, ‘They could do without the test’, what does that mean?” asked Murong Xue promptly.

“It means Master Lingtian would take you two as his disciples, and he will teach you in person!”

“Awesome! How awesome is that! Have you heard that? Sister-in-law? We will be the only two disciples that Master Lingtian is going to teach in person!” exclaimed Murong Xue.

It turned out to be a happy surprise!
